Consumer Complaint: XXXX, an online event ticket broker, charged us an incorrect ammount. We purchased tickets online for a XXXX XXXX Concert occuring on XXXX/XXXX/2016. During checkout they showed the total as {$250.00}. They charged our bank account {$1100.00}. We did n't know we were charged that much until we got the receipt. They will not even talk to us to resolve the issue. We contacted our bank to file a complaint and they did nothing for us. It should be noted that the tickets they sold us are still being sold today, from the venue sponsor for {$80.00}. XXXX tickets are only {$250.00}.

Consumer Complaint: I applied for a credit card with USAA and I was declined despite having a XXXX XXXX Score over XXXX at the time of applying.

Consumer Complaint: I have been working for over 2 days to speak to someone who can help resolve an issue. I have been told several times that the procedure to so have someone call me back. So far no one has ever called back, when I call I am just told that the procedure is to put in for a call back and we go through the same drill again. I am concerned about the lack of resources to escalate any issues. The issue stems from being given incorrect information from a customer service rep. At this point I have lost complete trust in them to give correct information, or to return a phone call. We are going on 72 hours with this at this point.

Consumer Complaint: USAA screwed up my escrow account for property taxes. Last year I was only in the house for 6 months so I paid half the taxes and they used that same amount that I paid last year for only half the year for this years taxes which were for a whole year. So now I need to pay {$2900.00} extra or add more to my monthly mortgage payment. They claim it was n't their fault and that the taxes increased but that is not the case the taxes are exactly the same all that changed is instead of only paying for 6 months we paid for a full 12 months. USAA also tried to sell my mortgage off only 2 weeks after we signed it. Something needs to be done about their shady business. They are supposed to help veterans and their families but all they do is cause grief.

Consumer Complaint: When we refinanced our home, the paperwork indicated we could apply to remove the PMI from our mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX, prior to the automatic termination date of XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I called to inquire and was sent application paperwork. After receiving the paperwork, I called to ask about the difference between a Broker Price Opinion ( BPO ) and an Appraisal, since the cost difference was substantial. I was led to believe a BPO was an external inspection of our home to ensure it had not fallen into disrepair. From my recollection, I was never told, nor were there any implications, that the realtor would be doing a detailed cost comparison to other properties. The inspection date was XX/XX/XXXX and I received the BPO along with a letter stating that I now needed an appraisal to remove the PMI. I reviewed the BPO and found several inconsistencies that substantially reduced the realtor 's price opinion of my home. I called USAA Federal Savings Bank/XXXX and asked to speak with someone in the escrow department, so I could discuss these inconsistencies and hopefully come to a reasonable solution. Customer service refused to allow me to speak with anyone, stating it was an internal department and they did n't accept phone calls. She asked if I wanted to dispute the BPO 's findings, which I did. She informed me someone would be in touch with me within 2-3 business days after they reviewed my PMI removal application. I never received a call, so I called again the following week and was told my information was under review with a XX/XX/XXXX deadline. Knowing I would n't receive a call on XX/XX/XXXX, I called again on XX/XX/XXXX only to be told by customer service that BPOs are not disputable, regardless of whether the data is accurate or not. I sent an email to the parent company 's web site ( USAA ) complaining about the process, in particular the errant BPO. While I received a nicer response from the parent company, the message was the essentially the same : " We do n't care if the BPO is inaccurate, because it works in our favor. If you want the PMI removed prior to the automatic termination date, you need to get an appraisal ( i.e., we get to charge you more money for the appraisal AND keep charging you PMI ). '' I have attached the following documents : a. BPO pages showing comparative sale data and comparative listing data b. XX/XX/XXXX Refinance appraisal page showing specifications of my home. c. Spreadsheet showing comparable sale data taken off USAA 's own web site, along with additional comparable sales found within our immediate neighborhood area. d. Spreadsheet showing comparable listings within our immediate neighborhood area. e. Letter to USAA parent company and response received. f. Outline of errors/inconsistencies contained in the BPO, along with an accurate cost comparison using one of the BPOs comparable listings.

Issue: Late fee
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX I looked at my credit card balance with USAA credit cards. I had noticed that my payments did not process. My payments are due on XXXX. So I immediately made a payment and called the bank. they charged me {$25.00} for each late credit card and this put my card over the limit. I asked them to please waive the late fee and they said no. I have never been late. I find this unreasonable. On XXXX I received an alert from a credit reporting agency that USAA had reported that I was late and that I was over the limit. This is also very unreasonable. The only reason I was over the limit was because of the late fee. This affects my credit which I have been perfecting for sometime. THis is bad business. I as only a few days late. This is not the XXXX time that I have had problems with them. I reported them a few times last year for closing accounts without notice.

Consumer Complaint: I settled a debt around XXXX / XXXX. I have recently understood that for some reason, the USAA banking department is not aware of what the settlement department has completed on my account, and they still wrongly consider my past account with them as outstanding etc. It is difficult to get it handled when I call in and I wait on hold and get passed around.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX President of USAA today I called about a complaint of consumer privacy compliance fraud violation exocuted by a member of your so called Resolution dept who hacked the online access of a XXXX member 's account. My company XXXX XXXX XXXX would like your response regarding the reason behind referring to a member 's political conservative party or views which is exploitative solicitation. When I recieved a welcome letter from XXXX XXXX into this company it was sincerely regarded that member privacy & the ingenuity of professional & ethical values could be intrusted. On behalf of my corporate associates it has been speculated that these actions were taken on behalf of you rather you knew it or not as a grinching of my XXXX. In regard to leadership & reconciliation I know that asking you to intervene is a plea to administer justification as an example to your subordinates. Last week XXXX USAA declared a liability of a technicality that was suspose to be resolved infractions but after giving my account an {$8000.00} credit limit increase it was not reported to you that a representative of your company exploitively invaded my account integrity. As the principal executive of this company it is your responsibility to monitor the hatred practices of you subordinates. I hope you can help restore my honor of service by granting my online access & credit card privilege that is truley an appreciative heritage.
